Everyone really didn't guess wrong, that night, many people stayed up late and went into the mountains, one by one with flashlights and buckets, and there was a posture of extinction.

As soon as the day dawned, Zhang Fan's aunt was startled when she opened the door, and there were people of all sizes standing outside the door, all of them in their hands.

The aunt secretly complained for her nephew, this is miserable, right? So much, when do you have to eat? When you can't eat the main meal every day? Although the fried meat tastes good, you will get tired of eating too much dragon meat!

In fact, Zhang Fan really couldn't eat so much. However, there is no need to worry about the catch and no one wants it.

Wang Feihong got up and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, and when he knew the shell, he bought it according to the sixty yuan per catty that he had said before. However, the larvae did not let go either.

He bought several snakeskin bags, which shows that Zhangjiazhai knows the abundant resources, and he doesn't have to worry about destroying the biological chain at all.

"You want the larvae too?"

"You don't want that much anyway. Wang Feihong said to Chen Baoli.

Chen Baoli also bought a large barrel and planned to bring it back this afternoon. Zhang Fan told him that he would send his little sister out later by the way.

The happiest are the children in Zhangjiazhai. In one day, their small coffers swelled rapidly, and they saved more money than for the New Year.

It's no wonder that after they get the money, the first thing they do is to go to the commissary to buy snacks to treat themselves.

They learned that Zhang Fan was going to go into the mountain with Kong Lao and the others this morning, and they all said that they would follow.

The location of the Red Hill is not too far, walking in, that is, about two hours. Villagers also come often, so they can find their way into the mountains. If it's a deeper mountain, you'll have to carry a knife to open the way.

There was a lot of dew in the morning, which made Wang Feihong and them suffer enough.

In addition, there is a kind of needle-like substance that sticks to the clothes, which makes everyone feel miserable, and soon they become hedgehogs one by one. Wang Feihong's son is even more miserable, even his hair is stained everywhere.

"What the hell? It's so annoying. Chen Baoli sat down and began to slowly remove those things from his body.

However, he was soon defeated, resigned to his fate, and gave up the treatment.

Kong Lao smiled: "This is the ghost needle grass, it's better now, if it's two or three months late, tsk! ”

The lower leaves of the phalloidal needle stem are small, rarely pinnate compound leaves with leaflets, and the leaflets on both sides are oval or ovate-oval.

"It affects the health of humans and animals, such as weeds and poisonous weeds and seeds in wheat fields, containing poisonous wheat alkali, mixed into wheat grains, which can cause poisoning of people and livestock; Kong Lao continued with everyone.

Ghost needle grass is a commonly used herbal medicine for Chinese folk, warm in nature, bitter in taste, the whole herb can be used as medicine, with the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, dispersing stasis, reducing swelling and so on, and it is commonly used by folk to treat enteritis, dysentery and other diseases.

Some people will feel paradoxical, since it contains toxineine, why can it still be detoxified?

It can only be said that the creatures in this world are so strange, and it is also the charm of studying creatures.

Kong Lao is a biological expert, and he has information about these plants at his fingertips.

Wang Feihong They felt that their scalp was numb, and now it was terrifying. According to Kong Lao's meaning, if you enter the mountain after two or three months, isn't that just looking for death?

When you reach the foot of the mountain, you can already see the red rose, which is the rhododendron plant.

Kong Lao found out that what Zhang Fan said was true, and almost the entire mountain was red. No wonder, the villagers said that in spring, Hongshan is a mountain of flowers.

In addition to the red mountains, they can actually see orchids, which are slim next to the stream at the foot of the mountain.

"Hey, it turned out to be a praying mantis, it's amazing, it's the same as a chameleon, and its camouflage skills are very strong!" Wang Feihong said suddenly.

When you look over, you can see that an orchid is blooming next to it.

And above the flower, those who observe carefully can see a praying mantis perched on it. The color of the praying mantis, exactly like the orchid, is quite magical.

Orchids generally grow on the mountainside walls of deep mountain valleys, sloping slopes or stone crevices with good water permeability and water retention, next to sparse mountain grasses, and under the shade of secondary miscellaneous trees. or shade, where the daylight hours are short, or where only the stars scatter and leak light. Places with high humidity and good air circulation are sometimes found on cliffs near mountain streams.

"This should be Jianlan, right?" asked Zhang Fan.

Jiang Tao nodded and responded: "That's right, this is Jianlan, its flowering period is generally between June and October, and it may also be a more precious Suxin Jianlan." ”

There are also many varieties of Jianlan, some expensive and some cheap. At present, it is the plain heart and green claw that are famous all over the world, and they are rare varieties of orchids.

Because the outer periphery of the petals is green, like a green mountain, and the following part is as white as snow crystal clear, the overall combination is like a clear spring water from the green mountain, so it is named: "Qingshan Jade Spring".

This variety has a vertical leaf shape, a tall foot hanging tail, the leaf width is slender, the new shoots are clear green covered with a transparent wheel, and gradually fade with the growth of new shoots; the inner and outer petals are snow-white with green covered wheels, the valve tail is inlaid with shallow cyanotic claws, the shoulders are slightly dropped, very similar to the golden silk horsetail, the white tongue is yellow, the milky white peduncle is out of the shelf, the fragrance is strong, the flower color can be comparable to the jade snow Tianxiang, and the petal shape is more than that.

Just above the flowers, there is a praying mantis that is quite clever in "makeup".

"That's the orchid mantis, but it's also strange, isn't this animal supposed to appear in the rainforest?" Jiang Tao said in surprise.

In his impression, in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, many different species of orchids will grow a variety of orchid praying mantises, which have the most perfect camouflage and can adjust the color of their bodies according to the color of the flower.

The orchid mantis should be regarded as the most beautiful and eye-catching one of the praying mantises. Their limbs have evolved a petal-like structure and color, and they can mimic orchids without being detected by their prey, making them one of the most sophisticated predators for the praying mantis.

Kong Lao was not too surprised, the location of Zhangjiazhai is infinitely close to the tropics, is it strange that an orchid mantis appears?

In fact, every creature can be found in all corners of the world, it's just a matter of how much or how difficult it is.

However, praying mantises, like grasshoppers, do not survive this year, and most of their lifespans do not exceed one year: they are born in spring and die in winter, and their life cycle is about 6~8 months.

Since it is a valuable orchid variety, Zhang Fan turned around and prepared to dig it back, and first put it in the space to cultivate it well. As for the orchid mantis, Zhang Fan has no idea about it for the time being. Although it's worth a good price.

"Look over there, there's really a golden-spotted beaked butterfly, that's great. Zhuang Buqun shouted in surprise.

Sure enough, let them find a small group of golden-spotted beaked phoenix butterflies, and Zhang Fan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
